Chapter 35

“Are… are you here to see a child?”

The orphanage director approached Belinda, rubbing his palms together.

“You must be the director of this place?”

“Yes, yes! I do the work of taking in and caring for children who have nowhere to go…”

“That’s none of my concern. Your child-rearing is a mess. For someone who can’t even manage their own child to be running an orphanage. I suspect tax evasion. I’ll be sending an administrator soon, so you’d better prepare yourself.”

“What? What does child-rearing have to do with tax evasion…? No, more than that, an administrator? My lady!”

Belinda ignored the director’s screams and walked straight out of the orphanage.

Terry, who had been guarding the entrance the whole time, looked back at Belinda with puzzlement as she returned sooner than expected and asked.

“Did you find Lord Penandel?”

“No… More than that, didn’t you see anyone come out just now?”

“No one came out while I was waiting for Master.”

Belinda seemed incredulous as she let out a hollow laugh.

“Ha. Is that so.”

She narrowed her eyes and muttered as if finding it ridiculous.

“I knew he was clueless, but…”

To think he’d really believe I wouldn’t recognize him.

‘Even if he did ten forward rolls, he’d still be Lord Penandel.’

Since he was pretending not to know, she figured he must have his reasons and played along by pretending not to recognize him either.

But seeing how he avoided Terry, he seemed convinced that she truly hadn’t recognized him.

Following Terry back to the carriage, Belinda pondered the reason but eventually gave up thinking and muttered.

“His looks really were my type though.”

That afternoon, when Lord Penandel returned to the manor, his face wore its usual mask.

Even as he reported that he had eliminated all the Shadow Crows remaining in the Royal Capital, he could hardly meet Belinda’s eyes, as if he had committed some crime.

Belinda wanted to ask why her knight, who claimed to have spent his entire life in the North, was searching for a child in this Royal Capital, and if there was anything she could do to help, she would gladly do so.

But hadn’t she learned through him that sometimes not asking is consideration for the other person?

Therefore, she was satisfied with having seen the true color of Lord Penandel’s eyes hidden in the shadow of his mask, and pretended not to know that she had seen him at the orphanage that day.
